 The death of Adolph Timm who has been suffering with a cancer for the past year 
and a half occurred at his home in this city Sunday, July 8th. After taking 
treatment in Rochester, he had hopes of recovery but he never regained his 
strength and for several months he has been unable to be out of the house. 
During the past few weeks he has suffered great pain and the end came as a 
relief from his sufferings. 
 Mr. Timm was born in Netztal, Germany on August 9, 1867. In 1881 he came to 
this country and made his home at Plainview. In 1889 he was united in marriage 
to Mathilde A. Dickman and one daughter (Emma) was born to them. After the death 
of his wife, he was again married in 1892 to Maria ("Mary") Harnack and two sons 
and two daughters were born to them. 
 The greater part of his life he has been engaged as a steam engineer. In the 
early days he was engaged in the well drilling business. For several years he 
was employed by the Meachum Company in their flour mill. He was a janitor at the 
local High School for several years until his health failed and he has been 
since compelled to retire from all activity. For 25 years Mr. Timm has been a 
member of the Volunteeer Fire Department. 
 His wife and four children survive: Mrs. William (Emma) Peterson of Huron, 
S.D.; George of Gordon, Wisconsin; Curt of Appleton, Minnesota; and Mrs. Glenn 
(Frena) Jackman of Clear Lake, Iowa: six granchildren and his aged father 
Rudolph Timm, Sr. and his brothers Rudolph Timm and Will Schanke (William 
Schanke, Sr.). 
 Funeral service were conducted from the home Tuesday afternoon July 10th at 
1:30 PM and at the Lutheran church at 2:00. Rev. Schowe had charge of the 
service. Interment was made in Greenwood Cemetery.
